        It was pretty short and a bit repetitive but for 12 bucks it's well worth it to experience the fun story. Didn't get to play the multiplayer so can't comment on that part.

          Short is how I like them. My ADD and LIFE kicks in, in about an hour or so and I'll usually say wow, great game, and never get back to it again. Between, xbox, ps3, and my gaming PC, I own about 500 games. Maybe five of those are finished. I keep on telling myself one of these days I'll find some time and start griding through them cus I own some amazing stuff, but who am i kidding.

      Can't get killing floor to work. My game starts up to a blackscreen where it seemingly continues to adjust the default resolution.

        Go into where you installed it and look for a folder containing DX9 and a .NET Framework update. I've found that 95% of all install problems are fixed once I manually install these.

            Ok, guys, this is how I fixed it. Alt + Enter to put the game into windowed mode. Go to options -> display and change the resolution it had set from 1660x990 to 1680x1050. Check in full screen. works.

      I just bought a whole bunch of games from that Amazon sale. Sure, I'd rather have the Steam versions but at those prices I'm not complaining.

      Dragon Age Ultimate Edition + Dragon Age II all for $9.99 is a steal.

        It's not Steam, but you can definitely register the Dragon Age games on Origin.

        Hey shirif... just sign up with a US Mail Forwarding company to get a US address. It's what I've done, and I have purchased several titles from Amazon using it, along with my AU CC.... no problems.

        I am using www.viaddress.com

          I've tried that before and didn't work. Says that the address doesn't match my cards billing address or something like that. I'm in Aus too BTW.

        it's a steamworks game right? http://www.amazon.com/Warhammer-40-000-Marine-Download/dp/B005IZMCBM/

        So all they need to do is send you the key? or that region locked too?

          I bought Warhammer Dawn of War 2 from Amazon... I got the key and downloaded with Steam no problem, no region issues (even though my Steam account is AUS), I'd assume Space Marine would be fine too (although one should never assume... hehe).

            I should also add... the only SteamWorks game I have had trouble with so far, was Deus Ex: HR... the version downloaded from Steam (using the Amazon key) turned out to be the Russian language version, but I quickly fixed that by downloading the English language files to overwrite the Steam ones.... worked fine. :)

            LA Noire wouldn't download through Steam... but that's not SteamWorks anyway.

            I've even bought an EA game and downloaded/redeemed it through Origin.

          Yup it is steamworks. As for the key, it should (in theory work worldwide). At least in North America for sure.
